Grateful heart.






Just the other day one of our juniors visited us .He had worked with us for just nine months as a junior doctor .A diligent and an earnest child ,he visited us because he wanted to thank us .He got through in his post-graduation entrance exams for CMC,Ludhiana for MS ,surgery.He testified in the church about how his short stint in Lakhnadon had been such a blessing in his spiritual walk with the Lord.I was watching it all in a detatched manner amazed at the gratitude in his heart.
The same day I received a message from one of our young nurses from a non-believing background who had returned to her home state about how she missed the Sunday worship time in my house.During our stint in these places we just do what we are supposed to ,we are not exactly perfect but the Lord in His ultimate grace covers us and walks with us even as we walk with the people whom He places in our charge.
These are the times when I often feel extremely overwhelmed by life as such.There have been times when I have prayed to the Lord that this is all too much for me and yet have carried on in His grace alone.It is in those times when I have felt most blessed by His mighty presence.
Our campus is also going through a time of transition.A lot of comings and goings.The news in the media generally ,is nothing to write home about.In all this something precious stands out in golden letters ,the Word of God ,writing our life stories in the book of life ,frail ,weak beings held up by the grace of our Lord Jesus ,in the Holy spirit before the throne of almighty God.In that,we rejoice ,live and breathe.

Feet in the water.

  Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura  for a  fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I  continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road? I had no idea why I was going  where I was going.I am glad I came because I could r

night-hunting.

 Monda suggested  we go  hunting. Dressed up to beat the rains and the unpredictable weather we ventured out at night with the two Dawas. Annie had baked a cake for Rumpanol.It started  pouring in spurts but nothing could beat the enthusiasm.The junior Dawa was to drive us to a place around fifteen kilometres up the north Sikkim highway.We would come across three rivulets of sort where we could possibly find the edible frog.The senior Dawa was already at the spot making a pathway in the jungle for us to proceed. We reached the spot at around eight at night.in the pitch dark one could hear the sound of frogs of all variety and we started seeing quite a few but none of edible variety.We shuffled around in the rain with an umbrella,raincoat and torches like Nancy drew exploring the grasses and having eye contacts with stunned frogs which seemed to have lost the ability to run .The two boys did a Tarzen and was lost in the jungle with a sling bag ,a torch sans any cover from the rain.While

Thank you.

 After almost five months of struggling with the nitty gritties the dialysis unit opened last week. We were able to dialyse our set of first three patients over the last few days. So much of effort,dissapointments ,struggles,joys and most importantly prayers have gone into the venture.Many who will never see the fruit of their prayers have invested their prayers into it. The day it started with many apprehension I was praying at the early morning hour and put my head on the pillow to rest and then just as I was about to sleep I saw a vision of Jesus on His knees interceding.That is how much my Lord cares for us and this morning while listening to Alistair I realised that He deals with us like a father does a five year old .That is how He sees us. Lord Jesus ,you are the crown on my head and the only thing I can take pride in.
